Help with car purchase (PPI) in California. Options

[71six]

Fellow 914 owners,
Having owned a 914 since 1971 you might say I'm committed to the design. That said I plan on furthering that commitment by purchasing this car.

The owner is located in Vacaville, California I believe and because I am located in New England I will be unable to actually see the car before I purchase and was wondering if a fellow member would be willing to look at the car for me.

Thanks,
Mark

You have a better history of the GT than most do, When I owned it it had never been in a major crash, I think a front fender was replaced..maybe not , long time ago,,
the flares were on it and there was a bubble at the weld in a couple spots..other than the mice infestation ,,It was a great -6, I know all the people from Wa. that played with it. Untill Brooke sold it.... Conrad the painter was used by alot of the crowd in the Seattle area.. you can check out Brooke on pelican and a few posts here ,, RSwannabe ...there was some of the resto paint on pelican, but Ithink he deleted it,He is a 911 guy..Akers who built the engine has been in downtown Seattle for ever..Good Luck


Also Redmond Euro did the trans, as they did the 3.o install, It had the factory -6 tailshift trans when I had it.
The main harness behind the brake fluid reservoir, was missing the tape wrap when I bought it, I assumed the mice ate it...
brooke had The transmission was rebuilt by Bernie Buschen with custom short gears (A, F, Ka, Q, X) and a GT torsion limited slip differential.
